Latest project: Mechwarrior, Dark Age - Javascript game.

Life updates:
I got into Mechwarrior: Dark Age (a tabletop game).  Pretty fun stuff.
I started a new job in February or so.  It's consumed a lot of my time.
At work, periodically, I get bored.  So I found I can hit shift-F4 and bring up a javascript compiler in firefox.  Neat.

So I started building a pure text-driven game in javascript based on Mechwarrior Dark Age.
The goal is to have a browser-born version of the tabletop game, though this is still probably a year's worth of real development away from completion.  As it is, I'm sitting just under around 1500 lines of code.  I've created a functional object database, functional clicks/dials, a combat system, etc.

It's pretty exciting, when I have time to work on it.
That's the latest.  I'm going to start updating this more often. At some point, I plan on making a mech-type game in FPSC:R (now called GameGuru, rendering this blog's name obsolete.  Thanks guys!).  But that's a long way from any type of real work on it.

Thanks for checking in!
